Unaccountably like an outsider.
From Jiang Zimin’s retelling, Yi Wanyue could hear that Qiu Baiyu did not shy away from the fact that she was once a love-struck fool.
She indeed once loved that man madly, she admits this fact.
This is also what surprised Yi Wanyue.
After contacting Qiu Baiyu, she did not feel that the other party had any appearance of a love-struck fool.
If Qiu Baiyu had love, that love was certainly very calm, not to the point of dying for the other person, forsaking dignity.
But so many people can testify to her deep love for Jiang Shen in the past… So how did she become so composed and calm today, even able to publicly attack Jiang Shen?
Yi Wanyue’s curiosity arose, and she couldn’t help but ask another question, but at this moment, the door was suddenly knocked on—
“It’s me, can I come in?”
It was Qiu Baiyu’s voice.
The main character appeared, and Yi Wanyue’s curiosity instantly subsided completely, and she did not ask further.
“Auntie, come in!” Jiang Zimin responded enthusiastically.
The door was opened, and Qiu Baiyu walked in one after the other with Jiang Shen.
Yi Wanyue saw Qiu Baiyu walking in front, calmly carrying a bowl of fruit, while Jiang Shen followed behind with a slightly unpleasant expression.
A very familiar expression.
He was obviously angry, exactly the same as the expression he had when Qiu Baiyu publicly attacked him a few days ago.
Jiang Shen was indeed attacked by Qiu Baiyu again.
Just now.
In order to give Jiang Zimin enough time to speak freely, Qiu Baiyu kept blocking Jiang Shen from going upstairs.
One moment urging him to get a divorce, the next moment urging him to get a divorce.
Very annoying, at least very annoying to Jiang Shen, and it successfully annoyed him for quite a while.
Jiang Shen, blocked to the point of being unable to bear it, burst out with a classic line that was extremely damaging to Qiu Baiyu:
“Qiu Baiyu, are you deliberately creating opportunities to interact with me, trying to attract my attention?!”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
For Qiu Baiyu’s inexplicable behavior, he could only think of this explanation, otherwise why would this woman make him angry one moment and then turn around and find every way to keep him, forcing him to be alone with her?!
Moreover, she loved him so much before, it couldn’t be that she suddenly stopped loving him.
Perhaps everything she is doing now is a disguised way to attract his attention; women will do anything for love!
After he threw out this sentence, he saw Qiu Baiyu suddenly standing still, holding the fruit bowl, her expression unchanged as if she wouldn’t even blink.
Then, he saw her slowly turn her head and suddenly make a sound:
“Ugh—”
Jiang Shen: “?!”
“When it comes to disgusting people, it has to be our President Jiang.”
Qiu Baiyu held back her nausea and gave the highest praise.
Hearing this domineering CEO line in person was incredibly damaging; she would probably suffer from insomnia for several days in the coming days.
Indeed, not everyone can be a domineering CEO; at least she couldn’t naturally spit out such irritating words.
Yet this system didn’t find it greasy and even inserted a task for her to complete: 【Vicious Female Supporting Role Mission Released: Confess love to the male lead, let him know you actually can’t leave him.】
Can’t leave him, my foot; she will leave right now!
She turned around with the fruit and walked away, leaving the black-faced male lead behind.
By now, it should be enough time for Yi Wanyue and Xiaomin to chat…
Jiang Shen stood behind, his face livid.
Ever since he returned to this home, his composure had been challenged daily by this woman, Qiu Baiyu.
He truly didn’t know how this woman had changed so drastically, completely different from before!
Forget it, he didn’t care.
She is not Xiaoyue, not worth his concern.
Xiaoyue is still upstairs, hurry and see her, don’t waste time getting angry over this woman, Qiu Baiyu.
Jiang Shen thought this way and followed Qiu Baiyu’s steps.
So, he followed behind Qiu Baiyu and appeared in front of Yi Wanyue and Jiang Zimin together with Qiu Baiyu.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
“Eat some fruit,” he bypassed Qiu Baiyu and placed the fruit plate in his hand on the table. His voice suddenly became as gentle as water when facing Yi Wanyue, “Feel at home here, no need to be polite.”
Although he and Yi Wanyue did not have a romantic relationship yet, they were still long-time friends, like brother and sister.
As a brother, it’s natural to be good to his sister.
Yi Wanyue stood up and politely smiled, saying thank you.
Qiu Baiyu watched this scene expressionlessly, already despising Jiang Shen countless times in her heart.
His nominal wife was still standing here, yet he was showing affection to another woman, hesitating over the divorce, leaving people speechless and hard to understand.
Is it so difficult to understand that once married, one should behave and not flirt indiscriminately?
Is it really illegal for a normal person to be the male lead here?
When Qiu Baiyu thought about Yi Wanyue liking Jiang Shen, she couldn’t help but feel it was a pity and awkward.
In her heart, the male lead didn’t deserve the female lead.
She couldn’t understand this kind of love, not even in death—what exactly made Jiang Shen, this madman, deserving?
As soon as Jiang Zimin saw Qiu Baiyu, she immediately happily moved closer to her.
Nowadays, she relied more on this aunt than on her father; this gave her a full sense of security.
Seeing the light and joyful smile on her face, Qiu Baiyu could guess that they had a pleasant chat.
That answer at least made Jiang Zimin very happy to hear.
“Auntie,” Jiang Zimin hugged her waist, looked up at her, and said, “I’m going to learn piano from Auntie Wanyue~”
“Oh?”
Jiang Zimin explained: “Auntie said I can try learning with her first, and if I’m interested, I’ll continue learning~”
Qiu Baiyu raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and instinctively glanced at Yi Wanyue.
Their gazes met, and Yi Wanyue smiled calmly: “I hope more people can feel the charm of the piano, so I think Xiaomin can give it a try. If she doesn’t like it then, that’s fine.”
This was her heartfelt thought.
She didn’t like forcing others to do anything, but she was very willing to guide others to feel the charm and joy of the piano. If she could cultivate a child with similar interests because of this, it would be great.
There are so many pianos in the world; she couldn’t play them all by herself.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Seeing that they had already discussed it, Qiu Baiyu also nodded: “Then just follow what you have agreed upon.”
She patted Jiang Zimin’s head to show encouragement.
Jiang Zimin happily squinted her eyes: “Mm!”
Yi Wanyue, seeing this scene, smiled without saying a word.
Jiang Shen stood aside as if he had been isolated.
Yi Wanyue, Qiu Baiyu, and Jiang Zimin were all happily interacting. He was clearly standing there, but he couldn’t get a word in, inexplicably feeling like an outsider.
Clearly, he was the one who invited Yi Wanyue to teach Jiang Zimin…
Jiang Shen: “…”
Suddenly, he felt very unnecessary.
